How are folks drying gear in their Seek Outside Cimarron, or with similar hot tent systems? Are you fashioning a makeshift clothesline, hanging anything from the center pole, etc? Being a novice at the hot tent/tipi, I simply laid clothes and boots over my pack or stack of firewood to dry when the stove was burning hot. Seems like there’s probably a better method…

One guy posted a pic in another thread of a little section of irrigation pipe with an end cap on one end that they slid over the center pole and then used peg board hooks in the holes on the irrigation pipe. Looked pretty handy. Not sure on weight of such a contraption but I believe the poster indicated it was minimal.

It definitely helps to get your gear up high where there is more heat. You can use your tripod if you have one. I also use a couple of loops of cord around the center pole. A clothes line will also work.

Thanks, looks like I need to do a better job with the search feature. There’s a couple older posts, this one for 2022 is the one I think you’re referencing

That's a similar concept. Here's the link to the post I was referring to. It's post #420.
